Yesterday, Veeam has announces two disruptive features, that we’ve kept in a secret: Built-in WAN Acceleration and Backup from Storage Snapshots.
New feature 1:- Built-in WAN Acceleration

New feature 3:- Enhanced 1 Click Restore

Just use a browser and you will be able to recover individual VM and flexible delegation settings for self service recovery
